Apparently, it seems the answer was as simple as incorrect case. in the URL, I was trying to access... /cfide/administrator/index.cfm, where we all know the folder is uppercase as in CFIDE... by using the uppercase in the url, I gained access, but I figured, I would inevitabley use the lowercase in the future, I created a symbolic link in the directory with a lowercase link pointing to the uppercase directory. This seems to work.

It sounds like Apache does not know how to read CFMs. Make sure that the CF installer properly modified the apache config files to setup the proper script maps. It sounds like Apache is unsure how to display .CFM files. Also check the MIME types. I usually run CF on Windows and IIS so I dont know the exact settings for Apache.
